I’m Markus, originally from New Zealand but I’ve called Australia home for the last 3 years.

A few months ago I started travelling with the intention of thinking about which direction to take my life and within a week I had already decided to resign from my comfy job and pledge to never live in a city again.

Life is about entertaining the spirits. Make them laugh, cry, or smile; as long as they’re not bored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience different ways of living while travelling instead of contributing to the homogenisation of the world’s cultures that over-tourism can often do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
